♪ How many roads must a man walk down ♪ 

 

When Bob Dylan sang the opening line of Blowin’ in the Wind, he didn’t use anything flashy, just a voice and a guitar—and the kind of clarity that cuts straight through. It wasn’t trying to impress. It was just true. And that’s why it lasted. That’s how I think about the way I photograph weddings. I work with a Rolleiflex—a 1960s-era medium-format film camera that was used to photograph fashion cover photos for Vanity Fair and Vogue. Black and white film. Deliberate craftsmanship. I don’t shoot thousands of images. I make maybe 30 or 40 photographs over the course of a day. And every one is intentional. I focus on wedding day portraits and a bit of ceremony coverage. Photographs that will outlast everything else. Portraits that you will one day hold in your hands and say, “I’m so glad we have this.”

These are the portraits of the people who matter most. Your parents. Your grandparents. Your brother who flew in from abroad. The aunt who believed in you and encouraged you to become a lawyer. These are the family icons. The quiet heroes. The real VIPs and the ones you’ll miss the most someday. Their portraits are what I make. Not candids. Not event coverage. Real, composed, timeless portraits. Photographs that would not look out of place on the walls of the National Portrait Gallery. Black and white. Film. Classic. If you’re legacy-minded, someone who collects art and understands the weight of a single photograph—it’s unlike anything else being offered right now. Like the Dylan song—it stays with you.

Kenneth Wajda – Black & White Film Wedding Portraits
Exclusive square-format 120 medium format black & white film wedding day portraits, hand-developed and professionally lab-printed and custom framed. A fully analog, curated heirloom experience.

Also available: 4x5 and 8x10 large format film
Engagement & Post-Wedding Portraits.


In my 30+ years as a photojournalist, I've photographed U.S. Presidents, dignitaries, celebrities, musicians and movie stars. My wedding work has always been rooted in trust, discretion, and respect—for the subject and for the moment. For the most private of clientele, that means no social media posts and no tagging. Just museum-quality images, delivered professionally and with care in the highest quality leather-bound albums and frames. Because I shoot film—and because every frame is made with patience and precision—I can only take a few commissions each year. This is not for everyone. It's for clients who understand art. Who collect it. Who value permanence over popularity. If you are someone who is legacy-minded, someone who collects art and understands the weight of a single photograph—you need to know about this. It's unlike anything else being offered right now. Like the song Dylan sang—it stays with you.
